Description

Not only was this article written by a woman, and in Texas, but she has two teenage sons who are fans of the show and apparently doesn’t think of them as “manly.”
 
Seriously?

I’m not even the same bgpony. Just tired of people’s gung-ho jingoistic bullshit.
 
Leaving a country is hard. It takes lots of money, research, and planning. Most of his/her family is probably here and his/her means of sustenance and shelter.
 
Will you aid this person on their noble quest to leave Murica? If they start a paypal to leave will you be the first to donate?

Wichita Falls is being silly, not Texas. People seriously need to stop lumping an entire state with the opinion of one fucking woman from one fucking town.

Never called you any of those things, you made that assumption yourself. But if you want to trash talk this country with assumptions and claim to be ashamed of a citizenship thousands of illegal immigrants clamor for each and every day, please leave, we don’t want you.

I can guess from the downvotes that the articles contains all the things we have heard a million times from stereotype media, trolls and the likes. Anyone should care why?

Aaaaaaannnnnnnd I’m back. Pretty much what I expected. Judgemental bullshit by a dumbass Texan from Texas. At least she didn’t call us pedophiles. That’s an improvement.
 
What really gets me is she celebrated how girls are getting into areas that traditionally were a boy’s domain, and yet she’s Shocked (Shocked!) when it goes the other way.
 
This is of course the problem that most Americans have (I’m American too, unfortunately). The total inability to realize that sexist stereotypes cut both ways. We’ve gotten to the point where girls are allowed to like anything at all, whereas we men are continually boxed in to only liking what Society – the most traditionalist conservative elements of it – tells us to like. 11 times out of 10 that would be heavily testosterone-laden dumb crap.  
Please don’t take that to mean that I deny Sexism against women no longer exists. It unfortunately does.
 
Maybe we’re tired of all the hatefulness and snark and competition for competition’s sake. Maybe (I’m too lazy to finish this thought but you get my point).

Started out as preparing for the launch of a new cartoon network and a few people in a general saying the pilot wasn’t that bad. Promptly followed by a Cartoon Brew piece on “the death of creator-driven animation” and a Ms. Magazine article called “My Little Racist, Sexist, Smarts-shaming Pony,” to which Faust wrote a rebuttal.
 
All this drama got people interested and made people realize the show was actually pretty good.
 
And the rest, as they say, is history.

I thought it was more along the lines of /co/ trolling and /b/ joining in but being caught up in a show that was miraculously good.
Background Pony #867A
She say like “If you like ponies you stop liking anything else”. I still liking a lot of “manly” things.
Background Pony #6E59
Why is everyone so butthurt about an opinion article? Seriously, the only way someone can insult your “manhood” is if you let their words get to you.

She lives in Wichita Falls; a place that is lucky enough to have a beach and unfortunate enough to have a water shortage.
 
But what is there to do in Witchita falls, you may ask? Well, according to their website they’ll be having a boot scootin’ boogie and an auto show in February.
 
If the monotony isn’t enough for you, I’m sure you’ll love their meth labs!
 
In a cursory search of Texas meth labs and drug houses Witchita Falls reigns supreme!
